Ironclad

At first glance, Ironclad belongs to the neutral family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its neutral temperature leaves room for surrounding materials and light to pull the color warmer or cooler. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

Manufacturer description

This austere charcoal gray carries the weight and gravitas of cast iron, with cool undertones that feel both industrial and refined. Perfect for creating a cocoon-like atmosphere in bedrooms or studies, it pairs beautifully with warm metallics and natural wood tones for sophisticated contrast.
